RE: Steemit will become mainstream in this "age of social media"? Yes, it will! Here's why.
Hey Whatsup!
Well the fact that power is increased or decreased as a result of the Steemit community "favoring or not favoring" a user's added content/contribution is a good thing because users who invest in the platform by creating content for other community members to curate and or investing their personal cash repeat the benefits in the long run as their power and value in the platform increase. It is highly possible that advertisers will adopt the Steemit platform once it is truly mainstream. Also, theoretically if you are a "powerful" user you can be sought after by advertisers to promote products (this actually happens with the most popular users on Youtube, Instagram, Facebook, Vine Tumblr, etc.)
I think investing your gains and choosing not to invest out of pocket is just another investing strategy – a prudent one and is not a bad strategy in any way. You have to invest with a risk tolerance that works for you.
Hey,
I agree with everything you said. As someone who came here with the intent to invest real money, I guess I wonder how many others find this to be an awesome idea, and have a desire to get in, but are not convinced. See you around SteemIt! :)
